Dog's Name: Dennis (DEN0226ALAMDHW) Estimated Breed: Shih Tzu Approximate Age: 1-2 years Approximate Weight: 12 lbs Currently Living at: Boarding Adoption Fee: $500 DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Say Hi to Dennis! Are you looking for a loyal sidekick who takes his job very seriously? Then Dennis is your man! He's a little Shih Tzu with a PhD in Friendship and a minor in Following You Everywhere. Dennis is super friendly, loves people and wants nothing more than to be right by your side at all times. Because he loves his humans so much, Dennis can struggle with a bit of separation anxiety. He's not being dramatic — he just truly believes life is better when you're together. A home where someone is around more often (or willing to help him build confidence over time) would be ideal. The good news? He gets along great with other dogs, so a friendly canine buddy might be just what the doctor ordered to help him feel secure. We also have discovered that Dennis is heartworm positive, but with treatment provided by K-9 Lifesavers, he'll be healthy and ready to find his forever home. At 12 pounds, Dennis is the perfect portable size — big enough to keep up with you, small enough to tuck under your arm like the precious treasure he is. Dennis isn't just looking for a house, he's looking for his person. So, if you've been searching for a tiny shadow with a huge heart, apply today — Dennis is ready to stick by your side for life. To learn more about heartworm please visit: https://www.webmd.com/pets/dogs/features/heartworms-in-dogs-facts-and-myths Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet. Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
